At a golf practice range, Minami meets a girl named Haruka Akane. Haruka invites Minami to explore "what makes golf special" by taking her to play a half-round course. Alongside regulars Masao and Chousuke, Minami hesitantly takes her first swings on the course.

However, nothing seems to go right for her. Despite the struggles, Haruka and the others teach her the mindset of golf and tips for enjoying the game. Gradually, Minami begins to discover the charm and joy of golf.

Minami is doing some nice progress. :)

Those glowing golf balls looked cool.

Nyanko-sensei being a golf expert, lol. I mean, It's fun to hear his voice actor in this show.

Minami is doing great so far and will only get better the more practice she does.

fun episode, i really like these characters so far. it seems like haruka will have a backstory segment/episode soon which I'm looking forward too.

70 over par is a diabolical score, but its a start for improvement! can't wait to see more.

Good to see Minami trying hard but also having fun in the process.
I have played night golf before with glowing balls, it's pretty cool.
Haruka looks like she will be a good friend to her.
I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Saying she got a perfect 100 score was super sweet, I wish Izumi would get more screen time, she is also a really nice friend.

Don't go to America, Minami, there are vicious crocodiles lurking in the golf courses.

Minami is such a sweet summer child lol. I thoroughly enjoy watching her learning and mostly failing, sweet old trail and error.

I feel like all these golf anime have the protagonists receive a second hand set of clubs so they can gloss over how expensive the sport gets

I quite like this senpai-kouhai sort of relationship right now, pretty wholesome.

God I fucking love Haruka and Minami so much!! Minami already showing massive signs of improvement and you can see the talent, just raw and needs refinement. But she’s going to be a hell of a player. Unlike birdie wing, this seems to have more emphasis on the fundamentals of golf which is cool for someone like me looking to learn about it.

We still have our yuri moments as well, but it looks like it’ll lean less into it than BW.. at least for now. Aoi was gay af for Eve, but Haruka seems to see Minami as more of a project of sorts. Did love how she wanted Minami to repeat that “Please teach me about golf”

Fun ep

Good to see I'm not the only one thinking of Nyanko-sensei every time that old man talks lol.

Sweet episode. Only wish Haruka wasn't so curvy because it seriously distracts me from the overall wholesome approach.

This is just a cute, well paced CGDCT show, maybe a little boring depending on your tastes but it goes down pretty easy. Intrigued about the third character being a streamer.

I'll be honest. I'm just bored by this. Hard to get through an episode. Tonbo, Rising Impact, and Birdie Wing all had something to hook viewers. They were a bit over the top with "special" abilities and out there skills. Rather than just straight up normal golf they explored other avenues. This is just golf and is kind of like a slice-of-life. I'm just bored lol.

Why are there so much golf anime lately anyways? There used to be a lot of baseball anime but they all kinda started to blend together and got boring. Now we're on the golf anime arc.

I guess I don't care about any of the characters and I'm not into golf so there's nothing for me here.

did that golf ball just said konnichiwa? gave me yuru camp feels

not sure if intentional but Haruka dodged the America question and she does have that Japan uniform, maybe she played in the nationals/international at some point?

my comfy anime of the season, cute and good vibes overall, excited for the streamer!

I wonder how much she'll be featured at all in episodes down the line considering she doesn't seem destined to join the golfers in the sport. At least, not part of the main trio of Minami + Haruka duo + the "new" girl teased at the end of the last episode. The trio which appeared in the original Sorairo Utility short. Come to think of it, I don't know if Izumi appeared in the original short at all considering its length and focus (would have to go back and check) or if she's a new character for the full-length series. I suppose that how much we'll see of her, if at all, going forward, is dependent upon how much time they dedicate to scenes at school or if they show any of Minami's life outside of golf and school (I mean besides just her bedroom and bathroom at night).

Another comfy episode!

I really like this show's vibes.

Minami is learning quickly with her mistakes.

I also want that glowing ball , that looked fun to play. But Idk golf :(
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Something is wrong with the scoring algorithm when these below 50K member shows end up with a 6.7 score for no reason.

Minami's first foray into golf surely needs some practice, and Haruka's skills prove that she's no simpleton when it comes to the sport at all. It takes as much strokes as Minami tries to learn on the fly for her very first attempt with the old men motivating her alongside Haruka, who has been going to the driving range since young, unlike the girl who has not had a workout ever since before attempting golfing.

Being a leisurely routine for Haruka and the gramps of Cho and Masa, this is something new for Minami that there's always room for growth for the fledgling rookie, even if that had the adamant score of a perfect 100 points (though lower is always better). And while preaching the wonders of golf to her best friend Izumi doesn't work, Minami getting her course membership card and hand-me-down golf clubs from Haruka, it's only the start of better things ahead for her.

Embrace the start, Minami.

It was another fun episode with Minami and Haruka duo, there conversations are fun and enjoyable, tho there's nothing special about this show, but the time they spend are wholesome.

So it looks like that Haruka was once a national representative but with her skills it's not doubt and Ayaka turns out to be a streamer.
